Not including IP, I have seen 4 pdocs over the past 21 years, with my current being absolutely amazing! I have seen her for about 3 years now I think and she is by far the best! Therapists, on the other hand, I’ve literally seen between 20 to 30, about 4 of whom were helpful. The reason it was so many is because I wouldn’t open up to anyone and my parents were desperate when I was young. My current therapist has made the most significant difference in my life though as she uses different techniques such as emdr and havening and is very good at them. I have also connected with her to the extent that I have only ever connected with one other therapist. I also like that she is about 10 years or less older than me so I can most likely see her long term without worrying about her retiring and me having to start again.
